In the match of the 19th round of the French championship Lorient will play at home with Le Havre. Recently, Lorient has been failing more and more. This team is already entrenched in the role of trailing in the standings. From the penultimate place Clermont Lorient is two points behind. And in the long term risks only to worsen the situation.

For ten matches in all tournaments Lorient does not know victories. And in the last five meetings, he invariably lost. Last round he was defeated 3-0 by Lille. Before that, Lorient dropped out of the French Cup, losing to Sochaux (1:2), which does not appear in the elite division. This speaks volumes about the level of Lorient, who seem destined for relegation at the end of the season. In the round before last, Lorient also lost big. This time to Brest (0:4). In the matches of Lorient usually scored a lot of goals. But most often they fly into the gates of this team. Therefore, it has the worst goal difference - minus 17. You can look at the last three home matches of Lorient. In them, he scored a total of five goals, but conceded nine. To the numerous playing problems of Lorient should be added a lot of losses. Bakayoko is disqualified, and a huge group of players left for the African Cup of Nations.

Le Havre on this background looks more decent. He in the French Cup in the last match defeated Châteauroux (1:0), before that in the championship coped with Lyon (3:1) and won four of the last five meetings in all tournaments. In the first round, he confidently defeated Lorient as well, defeating them 3-0. So this time too, the game may turn out to be effective.
